Toooomeeee

Were there really 12 letters written? On that tiny piece of paper…. For me that was one of the most disturbing and worrisome part of the show - how little space they have to write! 😅

I just finished the drama! It’s very good. Well made and well paced. Very good cinematography & story telling! But I do have many questions:
1) how did the old Ye Hai Tang & Ye Yibo die?
2) who is YHT’s husband - Mr Shen?
3) Is YHT the real mum of the younger Shen?

I don’t get why she cried when Bai died. She shdve grabbed a knife and stabbed him a couple more times. And it’s so ridiculous the 2 ladies could set up a funeral rite just like that! He’s a prince no? Shdnt the emperor be informed at the least?

Frankly speaking, this drama is really not enjoyable and the story is so blehh… I would rate it a 5.5.

I really don’t understand the situation….how can one country capture and enslave a whole hoard of people from another country and no one takes any action against the perpetrators?

Love WYB & ZLY here. The portrayal of their characters is so believable. Never seen WYB so smiley before. His smile and bubbly mannerism is very natural and likeable. I can’t detect any pretentiousness nor narcissism, which is sometimes seen when a male actor plays such a role. As for ZLY, she’s so believable as a young girl here even though she’s already in her 30s! And her straight forward tomboyish demeanour is so convincing and endearing.

I’m at Ep 11. Omg this LiSheng is the most annoying and useless piece of crap! He shd just die.

Thanks for the explanation. I had no idea. They could’ve just let XZ keep the fisherman look through out their stay in the fishing village to lessen the confusion.

But maybe the producers worry that his dark dirty & burly appearance might completely destroy any romance there may be and cause ratings to plummet 🤣

I didn’t think there were loads of dangly bits…ZLY’s costumes are very unique, cool & pretty at the same time. Even her guards with their mat gold and navy blue uniforms look stylish and classy!

Great idea!

oh the BGMs….. mainly the title song….i think that’s no. 7. I think nos 19, 21 & 28 are nice too. 😃 Do you like em too?

Omg thank you!!

Yeah but I’m a little OCD….sometimes I wish I could reach inside my tv screen and straighten his nose a bit 😆

This drama also has one of the nicest costumes I’ve seen! Especially ZLY’s. And the set designers have good taste too. 👍🏼👍🏼

The OST are sooooo nice especially the BGM-OST! But sadly they’re not in Spotify.

After SL was badly injured by FS with the 6 nails and was saved by XZ who disguised himself as a fisherman, why did he not disguise himself after a short while and he still thought SL couldn’t recognise him??

I find Eye more handsome than the ML & Bluehair. 🙊 I think it’s because he doesn’t wear as much makeup as the other 2. Sometimes the ML’s makeup is so thick and white it’s not very nice. I wonder why they do that?

Ok I’ve finished the drama! Actually I cheated. After reading the spoilers here I couldn’t bear to continue the drama… I stopped at ep 18….then I watched the summary video!

My conclusion - what a sadistic writer/director! It is bad enough that the ML and FL parted ways far far too early (10 episodes!) and didn’t meet at all even till the very end, but why create so many near misses of them meeting? Like when ML bumped into her but she was covered up in Bluehair’s arms. Make her faint just in time to miss hearing ML’s voice, drop her hair twig just after he turns away; ML deciding to rest a night just in time to miss everything the next day?! If he made it on time, it could’ve been a very HE! They even made the pair miss seeing the Nordic lights together by like 1 second! The moment they left the lights appeared! Why do that?! Just don’t let the lights appear at all or appear 1 hour after they leave for Pete’s sake! ! And I don’t buy that they’re just not meant to be metaphor crap!

Many here watched the drama knowing at the outset that it’s got a BE (not me though) but yet many still come back here lately to rant about the drama. I think it’s because BE is acceptable to them but not this type of sadistic BE with a lack of ML/FL romantic moments, skinship, confessions, etc; final separation of ML & FL with 10 episodes left (that’s like 1/3 of the drama!) . Most cruel part is that the FL lives in guilt for 31 episodes and dies without ever knowing the ML doesn’t blame her!!…..and this is the guilt that prevented her from starting anything romantic with ML and always made me suspect she never loved him!

Great acting by the leads and the seconds though but not a fan of the story - Groundhog Day of getting injured and healed story powered by deceit and an 8 year wild goose chase. Don’t like the moose-head villain’s little hut set-up…it kinda cheapens and ridicules the drama. Love the hair makeup n costumes. ZY is gorgeous & ZB dashing! I think it’s a very well made and watchable drama but it’s just a bit too sad and sadistic for me.

I know!! I read your spoiler rant above!! Omg!! I can’t believe it - 10 episodes without meeting TILL THE END!!? Even if the 2 leads were to Meet after 10 episodes that is unacceptably long in my books! (Max maybe 3 episodes? ) But not meeting at all?! And one of them dying too?? I seriously don’t think I can watch this…..maybe I Will stop at 22. Sigh.

Thanks for that….i needed it….. I’ve been reading some spoilers and I know it’s a VBE! But based on all the prepping by FL it really could’ve been made into a HE! I think the director is more cruel than the villain!

I just want to know, in the end, is it absolutely crystal clear that the FL actually has romantic feelings towards the ML? I.e. NOT platonic or other type of love, nor love due to guilt, responsibility and whatnot.

I’m at Ep 18 and I still can’t see her love for him. There is a lot of care and concern and fondness and gratefulness towards him, but boy-girl type of love … I don’t think I see it yet. 😅.
